<a href="https://geeknewscentral.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/1820-250.jpg"></a>Apple is preparing for a future without its $20 billion annual deal with Google, which pays to be the default search engine in Safari. While losing this revenue stream would be a blow to Apple, it could be devastating for Google, which shares 36% of its Safari search ad revenue with Apple. In court, Apple executive Eddy Cue hinted at plans to pivot toward AI-powered search solutions by enhancing its existing Applebot and Spotlight infrastructure or partnering with emerging AI players like Perplexity or Anthropic. Although Apple’s search services may not rival Google’s effectiveness, its strong ecosystem, advertising capabilities, and willingness to innovate with generative AI could help cushion the financial impact. Apple’s exploration of AI-based search threatens Google’s dominance and signals a strategic shift toward greater control over its user experience and data.

Full Summary: 
In the podcast episode titled “Apple’s AI Search Ambitions Signal a Post-Google Future,” host Todd Cochrane discusses Apple’s potential shift towards AI-based search solutions as it prepares for a future without its annual $20 billion deal with Google, which involves being the default search engine on Safari. Cochrane notes that while losing this revenue would impact Apple, it would be even more detrimental to Google, which shares a significant portion of its Safari search ad revenue with Apple. 
He highlights Apple’s exploration of AI search capabilities, including potential partnerships with emerging AI companies like Perplexity and Anthropic. Although Apple’s current search service may not be as effective as Google’s, its strong ecosystem and innovation could mitigate financial losses. This pivot by Apple could disrupt Google’s dominance and indicate a broader shift towards greater control over user experience and data. 
Cochrane welcomes listeners to the episode and emphasizes the changes in the tech landscape, drawing parallels to other companies, like Mozilla, that depend on Google’s financial support. He expresses concern for businesses reliant on search visibility in an evolving AI-dominated market. 
The episode features multiple sponsorship mentions for GoDaddy, encouraging listeners to explore their services for website and podcast hosting. Cochrane also shares personal updates about his travel plans and the production schedule for future episodes, indicating a brief hiatus. 
Transitioning to other news stories, he reiterates Apple’s plans for a future without the iPhone, highlighting their request to halt App Store rule changes and legal challenges. He details concerns voiced by tech executives regarding the U.S.
